Everyone that has answered so far has dodged the actual question

btw I am 5'11 which is not classified as short, I don't know why everyone assumes just because I decide to ask a random question about short guys in the dating game; means its about me or I am short or have an attitude problem.

personality can make up for height. I have a friend who's five foot and dated a six foot tall girl because he is actually amazing in every way other than height. I'm not saying that short guys have to be amazing like him but height isn't the only factor when you look for someone to date.

Your attitude about your height. Many short guys, especially on this site, seem to be very bitter and whiny about their heights. It's annoying. The fact that you posted this question has caused me to infer than you are one of those guys.

Honestly, if you look at all the answers women give around here when it comes to height or the answers women give elsewhere or in real life or notice the pattern, short guys do get pretty screwed there. But ya, you just gotta be confident and not care about your height and you'll find girls fine.

Well, the thing is, I actually do prefer short guys. And I've said so repeatedly. And I've been accused of lying about it. Some guys are so fixated on being bitter about their height that they don't really care what anyone has to say. Sorry, QA, if you are not actually one of those guys, but I feel that it was a logical conclusion to reach based on my past experience with these types of questions.

Eh, you're honestly not the norm for girls when it comes to height. Sadly. Not that I care, I don't know a girl taller than me lol. It's just a pity so many girls put so much emphasis on height. And, I don't think I'd really see a reason to prefer one way or the other honestly. Short or tall or whatever. It's nothing they can control in their life.

Look why ask a question if our never going to be satisfied with any answer. You need to shake this height issue because your always going to be short no matter what for the rest of your life and you can either take some advice and grow for it or be a miserable douche bag about it for the rest of your life. A guy at my school was short and DIDN'T have money or the height, but he had confidence and (I hate this word)swagg and he got girls that even the taller guys couldn't get.

@update I assumed you were short because you were being negative like no matter what advice I was trying to give on how short guys can get whatever girl they want you would always come back with something negative.

Basically your not asking a question your just stating an opinion which is not what this site is for sorry. Short guys should try talking to girls their height or an inch or two short just so the girl doesn't feel uncomfortable or find a woman that likes to date shorter guys. There is nothing wrong with a girl that doesn't want to date someone shorter than her just like guys don't want to date a girl taller than them.

No. I'm asking a question and you just answered it. "Short guys should try talking to girls their height or an inch or two short just so the girl doesn't feel uncomfortable or find a woman that likes to date shorter guys"

In other words, short men's dating pools are severely limited to a girls height, just like my initial assumption. Re read my question, come back to this when your done... k?

Kind of, but not really. Everyone has something about them that doesn't make them dateable or attractive to some one else therefore everyone in the world has a certain group of people that wouldn't date them. That's why there really is no excuse on why a short guy can't get with girls or whatever because I''m pretty sure that guy has his own standards that he is looking for.

Kind of, but not really. Everyone has something about them that doesn't make them dateable or attractive to some one else therefore everyone in the world has a certain group of people that wouldn't date them. EXACTLY. Being a short guy limits your dating pool, because about 95% of women wouldn't consider dating them. AND THIS IS ONLY ONE TRAIT. Keep in mind people have preferences about everything. By the time women's standard are all said and done short guys really aren't considered for dating.

Depending on everyones definition of short. My not dateable short guy would be 5'8 or shorter, but another girls short guy might be 5'5 so the guys that I consider to be short aren't short to her. There are similar personalities of all women at different heights there's the girl next door that could be 5'1 or 5'5 or 6'0 or if you want the outgoing party chick they come in all different heights as well.

What Guys Said 4

Well, being moderately tall myself, I can't say I know what short men go through. Based off of my own observations, however, there are ways one can maximize their dating prospects.

Short stature is a disadvantage, but it certainly doesn't put one out of the game. Preferences don't mean standards. Most girls do generally prefer taller guys, but a good chunk of them wouldn't mind dating a guy who wasn't tall. Also, there is the occasional anomaly who would actually prefer a guy closer to her height. Don't make it obvious that your height bothers you. The only thing that would accomplish is turning off those girls who truly wouldn't mind.

Dude, this anonymous guy doesn't care bout what they can do to try and get more girls. He's just focused on letting people know that being a short guy sucks and there is no possible way of making up for it. Oh and to argue about why the possible ways a short guy could as you said maximize their dating prospects would still never make up for being short.

I would say being short myself you not only have to have personality, but also self confidence. Girls dislike any guy tall or short without any self confidence.

A down vote? I am almost 6'7", I have nothing to worry about in the height department. Average height in the US for a white male is 5'10".. So why are you bitching if you're above average? You aren't even short.
